Zahoor Khan to Mayers, FOUR, the 50-run stand comes up between the duo! Low full-toss wide outside off, Mayers crouches in his stance and guides it past the left side of short third to find the fence

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Moeen Ali, 1 run, another brilliant yorker swinging in, Moeen Ali tries to dig it out and gets an inside edge onto the pads. The ball rolls in front of him and the batters sneak in a single. Fifty for Moeen Ali! It hasn't come at a pace he would have liked though

Shepherd to Mayers, SIX, going, going and gone! In the arc outside off, Mayers sets up a steady base for himself and smashes it over long-off for a 95m maximum

Shepherd to Mayers, FOUR, shot! Fractionally overpitched around off, Mayers gets into a good position with a shuffle and smacks it over the bowler's head for a rocketing boundary

Shepherd to Moeen Ali, FOUR, struck nicely! Another one in the zone, Moeen Ali lines it up and hits it over extra cover to pick up a boundary

Zahoor Khan to Mayers, FOUR, crunched! Pitched up outside off, in the arc, Mayers smashes it through extra cover. There's protection the the deep. Shakib dives to his left but it has been hit with such power that it goes past him in a flash. The final delivery spoils the over somewhat

AM Ghazanfar to Mayers, FOUR, shot In the slot once again, Mayers brings his bottom hand into play and whips it brilliantly over mid-wicket for a one-bounce boundary. 15 runs off the over

AM Ghazanfar to Moeen Ali, SIX, just over deep backward square leg! In the slot and drifting into middle and leg, Moeen Ali clears his front leg and heaves it powerfully. Farooqi leaps but it evades his outstretched hand and flies over the fence

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Azmatullah, out Caught by Tom Banton!! Azmatullah holes out! A pitched up delivery around off from round the wicket, Azmatullah goes for an expansive hit downtown but mistimes it. Banton from long-off runs to his right, keeps his eyes on the ball and gets low to take a well-judged catch. Azmatullah c Tom Banton b Fazalhaq Farooqi 14(19) [4s-1]

Shepherd to Moeen Ali, FOUR, this shot might give Moeen Ali some confidence! A slower back of a length delivery around off, Moeen Ali stands tall and punches it crisply through covers to find the fence

Arab Gul Momand to Azmatullah, FOUR, dropped! That wasn't an easy chance though! On the shorter side on off, Azmatullah backs away and flat-bats it towards wide long-off. Banton runs to his left and gets his hands to it but it bursts through and rolls to the fence behind

Arab Gul Momand to Azmatullah, 1 run, full delivery drifting in on middle and leg, Azmatullah strokes it down to long-off. 50 up for the Giants

Arab Gul Momand to Tucker, out Lbw!! Tucker has been trapped in front but after a chat with Moeen Ali, he challenges the decision. Looks adjacent to the naked eye. Was the googly on a length around off, turned in nicely, Tucker tried to drive it down the ground but played down the wrong line to get struck on the pads. UltraEdge shows a gap between bat and ball. Over to ball-tracking and it returns three reds - it would have crashed into the leg-stump. The change of bat doesn't work for Tucker. The Giants continue to slip. Tucker lbw b Arab Gul Momand 13(13) [4s-2]

Zahoor Khan to Tucker, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries! A short delivery wide outside off, Tucker reaches out and slaps it past the left side of mid-on. The chase is on but the ball wins the race

Zahoor Khan to Tucker, FOUR, beautifully played! Fullish delivery well outside off, Tucker reaches out and lifts it nonchalantly over extra cover for a one-bounce boundary

Shepherd to Asif Khan, out Caught by Sanjay Krishnamurthi!! That's an outstanding catch! A shortish delivery on off that climbs on Asif Khan. He is cramped for space but still goes through with his pull shot. Ends up top-edging it towards deep backward square leg. Sanjay Krishnamurthi hares to his left and dives to take a superb catch inches above the ground. He kept his eyes on the ball and timed his dive to perfection. It was traveling but he made it look simple. Asif Khan c Sanjay Krishnamurthi b Shepherd 12(8) [4s-1 6s-1]

Shepherd to Asif Khan, SIX, Asif Khan backs away and there's room on offer on this short delivery. He slashes hard and it flies off the top-edge towards third man. It's going, going and it clears the fence

Shepherd to Asif Khan, FOUR, nicely played! A back of a length delivery angling in on off, Asif Khan rises on his toes and swipes it over Pollard at deepish backward short leg. He has found the gap and deep backward square leg has no chance to stop it

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Gurbaz, out Bowled!! Timber! Gurbaz has thrown his wicket away! Gurbaz uses his feet and Fazalhaq Farooqi bowls it on a good length on middle. He is not to the pitch of it but still tries to slog it across but gets beaten and the ball crashes into the middle-stump. That was a poor shot and Gurbaz paid the price for it. Gurbaz b Fazalhaq Farooqi 11(10) [4s-1 6s-1]

Shepherd to James Vince, out Bowled!! Knocked him over! 135.5kph back of a length delivery in the channel, hint of away seam movement, Vince tries to punch it through covers with zero foot movement and gets an inside edge that crashes into middle and off. Vince’s poor run with the bat in the tournament continues. James Vince b Shepherd 3(4)
